Karl Marx's Theory
By Tatiana Pahlen
"Some things appear in history twice,
First as tragedy, then as farce;"
Comparing the classes of men and mice,
Struggling greatly, as viewed by Marx,
One may wonder why the merchant's price
Equal to goods and goods to price?
Who was the maker of Federal tax,
A master of thinking out of the box:
Were the men from Lombardi
The first lawful thieves
Collecting loans,
Knocking off teeth?
Life as illusion bore a worthless dream,
A labor of love, Marx's "Capital" myth.

Pigeon's Dedication to Marx
(Tanka)
By Tatiana Pahlen
Two pigeons
Squatting on the head
Of the Karl Marx monument –
Dropping lavishly;
They do not give a shit'ski.
